[Video!]

[The video clicks on to focus not on Xemnas, but a rather sedate looking kadabra carefully picking burrs out of a blitzle's fur, the ever-present kadabra-spoon held in its teeth. Both have rather new looking and fairly loose black collars studded with small silvery ...studs, and a single bright silver charm a little too distant to make out clearly. Neither seem to mind said collars, possibly because they'd be able to get them off very easily if they wanted to. When Xemnas speaks, likely the one holding the camera, he sounds bemused.]

I have finally seen evolution in this world for myself, but not with one of the pokemon I have had the longest. Is it odd, that the abra I captured not so long ago, evolved so quickly into its next form? Or is this common for wild-caught pokemon? I have high hopes of seeing the second stage of Regret's own evolution soon.

[The blitzle notices the camera first and perks up visibly. Then begins making faces at it, no small fete for a horselike face. Aside from a slow flick of its rather fluffy tail, the kadabra doesn't bother to divert from its goal of burrs.]

Additionally the growlithe that had chosen to accompany me is still present. If anyone is desirous of having a free growlithe, alert me and I will bring it somewhere you can capture it. To the young man I purchased the gastly egg from: it is a remarkable creature, and one I suspect I will keep for some time. You must be very pleased with its parents.

[surrender now or-- no. wrong script]

A series of islands. It's possible to travel between entirely different regions. I have seen entire worlds smaller than what Kanto and Johto encompass, I imagine we'll be quite busy for at least a couple of years.

[After that, who knows.]

Indeed. I have sought to maintain at least politeness, as it seems he is the keeper of many strong creatures and frequently offers their offspring for sale. He is not yet an enemy and I see no reason to make one of him.

[What goes unsaid is exactly how useful Riku could be to them if he were more amicable to the presence of any Xehanort, be it Xehanort himself, or Xemnas, or even the Heartless that caused so many headaches not long ago. If the boy had no built up immunity to darkness.. well. Sora wouldn't be needed.]

I will endeavor to reach New Bark Town as swiftly as possible, once I have acquired an appropriate growlithe. The species by and large is fairly rambunctious, I should be able to find something less likely to bark and constantly run in circles with a few hours' work.

[whoops XD]

Indeed, as have I.

[But let's not get into that, shall we?]

He is not yet who he will become, and that is all that is necessary. There is little need to antagonize him. Cultivating him seems to be a far better option...

[Even if that's not possible anymore, it's still nice to think along those lines.]

Perhaps even I can find equal footing with him. Only time will tell.

I trust in your judgment in that regard. I will be here waiting. There is much we must speak of when we have a more secure means.

[Having the right script is important. Plus a much smaller post.]

[All of this is weighed, and set aside as handled sufficiently for the time being. It was going to take him the better part of two weeks to get back to New Bark Town, unless he pushed Regret to her limits and made use of Malice's teleportation. But delays were unacceptable.

If his pokemon foundered, he would see they're well healed afterwards.]

Very well. I will contact you again when I am near the city.
